What are the different types of waves?
There are different types of waves, including mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves, and sound waves. Mechanical waves are those that move through a medium, such as water, air, or solids. They are created when a disturbance occurs in the medium, such as when an object vibrates. Examples of mechanical waves. Electromagnetic waves are those that do not need a medium to propagate, such as light and radio waves. Sound waves are those that travel through matter, such as air, and are caused by the vibration of an object, such as a speaker or instrument.
